So Ive been stockpiling a fair amount of aftermarket goodies and finally decided to tackle them all at once. I have a few days off in a row so there is no better time. Firstly! here are all of the parts





Now in this diagram in the rears I went to remove Bolt B and even with wd40 I began to remove it and it snapped off. On both sides! The other picture shows how it looks now.







SO what are my options?? Should I try to weld a bolt to the broken off bolt and then remove it with the welded on bolt. Should I drill it out and try to retap it. If I cant retap it should I get a new bolt and just bolt it through with a nut on the other side?


Opinions?

After some searching I found this. So tomorrow we will see how it goes

This happened to my car, and my buddy drilled a hole in the bolt until it was the same size as before and it ended up working out. Good luck man.

Bolt A is actually 17mm, the one that goes through the bottom of the rear shock

I took that pic from someone else on here. The reversal kit didn't work as its next to impossible to drill through that bolt. Options??

What kind of drill and bit are you using?

I got it out. Ended up using a 9/32 drill bit and drilled it right out perfectly. And then I retapped it a bit bigger and bought matching 1" long bolts to the tapped hole size. Its all buttoned up and as good as new
